Leading the Fight for Burn Care

When a medical emergency happens, every moment matters. For patients suffering from serious burn injuries in El Paso and our surrounding region, accessing specialized burn care can mean traveling approximately five hours away from home.

Our community deserves better.

As the nonprofit Foundation supporting University Medical Center of El Paso, University Medical Center Foundation of El Paso works to strengthen the resources and services available to patients throughout our region. This El Paso Giving Day, we are stepping into the ring for one of our community’s most critical healthcare needs: burn care.

Our goal is to help advance the effort to bring greater access to specialized burn care to our region, so that patients and families facing these traumatic injuries do not have to begin their fight with a five-hour journey away from home.

For a burn patient, specialized care can be part of a long road that extends beyond the initial emergency. Treatment and recovery may require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, follow-up appointments, and the support of loved ones. Having access closer to home can mean staying connected to family and community during some of the most difficult moments of a patient’s life.

That is why this Giving Day, we are Leading the Fight for Burn Care.

Inspired by the strength and determination of Lucha Libre, our campaign represents a fight bigger than any one person. It is a fight for our patients. A fight for families. And a fight to strengthen the healthcare resources available to our entire Borderland community.

Every Giving Day donation helps move this effort forward and demonstrates that El Paso is ready to stand together for the healthcare our community deserves.

Su Lucha Es Nuestra Lucha. Their fight is our fight.

This El Paso Giving Day, step into the ring with University Medical Center Foundation of El Paso.

Help us lead the fight for burn care and bring critical care closer to home.
